The gown, created by renowned fashion designer and recent toast of "America's Next Top Model" Michael Cinco, is described on the Missosology website as "a fluid metallic and shimmer scarlet red chiffon with 50’s inspired swarovskied boy-short panty suit."

“SNN” showed a Twitter post that didn’t approve of Quigaman’s choice of gown.

“Lara’s shown bikini in Bb. Pilipinas last Saturday was not pleasing to our eyes. She should’ve worn other dress,” tweeted jaypalomares to snnofficial.

Quigaman, who hosted the event together with fellow beauty queen Miriam Quiambao, felt the gown was decent enough for her taste, saying that if there was anything negative about it, "hindi ko siya susuotin...”

She shared that she immediately fell in love with it when Cinco showed her the gown. But even then, she asked around for opinion before wearing it and got an overwhelming approval.
